Black Honey Process Specialty Coffee Beans
Presenting a captivating Sidra variety, Edwin introduces a strain initially cultivated in Ecuador, believed to trace its genetic lineage to African heirloom varietals. Harvested at optimal ripeness, the Sidra cherries undergo a meticulous process, beginning with a 5-hour soak followed by a 96-hour carbonic maceration phase. Subsequently, the cherries are depulped, retaining approximately 45% of their mucilage, and then placed in an anaerobic environment for 48 hours. Throughout this journey, the cherries are rejuvenated every 24 hours with fresh mossto, extracted from compressed cherries. Finally, the remaining cherry seeds undergo a 24-day sun-drying period on African beds, followed by an additional 8 days of stabilization in a warehouse to ensure optimal moisture levels.
